Notes:

These reels were lent to me by Bill B. to transfer.



Bill B's notes:

D.F. and I would coach the Seattle Kingdome video director (N.W.) on songs to be

played at upcoming major shows. Basically he was "studying up" on song placement

and solos to be expected. Having worked at both the Superdome and in Cleveland, N.W.

had friends at other venues. He simply asked a friend working the show in Cleveland

to get him a copy of the show and fire it off to us in Seattle. The guy brought in

his home deck, walked up to the board, and being on the crew they plugged him in.

Just that simple. These reels are a direct copy of the master cassettes done in the

early 80’s on a brand new Akai GX-77 reel deck using Maxell XLII tape at 7.5 ips and

the rare EE equalization that the tape required. I personally have a better trust in

this source than I do in the actual masters now. The masters still exist, but they

aren’t going in the mail, and after so many years, I just think that 7.5 ips quarter

inch reels are the best way to go. They may never have been played before Weedwacker’s

efforts. I kept a second “play” copy on Maxell UD reels for listening. This source is

pristine, not one of the bootleg versions, not off crude cassette copies from me in

the 80’s. This is the real deal. Thank you Weedwacker for stepping up to make this

happen, you and Darrell, and NW, and whoever the guy was that plugged in.



Comments: This show gets criticized a lot, but it is really a good show, with lots of

energy and intensity. The playing is great and the versions of Kashmir, Achilles Last

Stand, and Ten Years Gone are exceptional, as is No Quarter. A really enthusiastic crowd

feeds off of Zeppelin's energy, making for a memorable show. Plant sometimes complaining

of monitor problems, especially during the acoustic set.
